A quantum of umbrage: George Will finds his natural home

Everyone here at p3 international headquarters is looking forward to seeing who ABC gets after they hose down the set.

George Will, who has been a conservative presence on ABC News for more than three decades, is leaving for the Fox News Channel, the cable news network announced on Tuesday.

Handy reminder: In 1980, before he joined 'This Week,' Will expressed his approval of Reagan's presidential debate performance, before it was known that (a) Will had coached Reagan in preparation for the debates, and (b) Reagan had started to present with Alzheimer's symptoms, which were horrifically obvious by the 1984 debates, and about which Will had nothing to say.
